Reading Women in Late Medieval Europe : Anne of Bohemia and Chaucer's Female Audience PDF
by Alfred Thomas
Part of the The New Middle Ages series
Description
Although Chaucer is typically labeled as the "Father of English Literature," evidence shows that his work appealed to Europe and specifically European women.
Rereading the Canterbury Tales , Thomas argues that Chaucer imagined Anne of Bohemia, wife of famed Richard II, as an ideal reader, an aspect that came to greatly affect his writing.
